Physical Sciences Teacher (Grades 10-12)

You'll plan and teach CAPS lessons that stick at a rural combined school in Brits. You don't need to be the loudest person in the room, just the one others can count on.

This post is Brits-based, with most of your time spent at a rural combined school.

• Supervise break duty, sport or a cultural activity each term
• Prepare Grade 12 learners for prelims and the NSC exams
• Teach your allocated classes and keep the pace of the ATP
• Give extra lessons to learners who are falling behind
• Plan weekly lessons against the CAPS annual teaching plan
• Meet parents to discuss progress, behaviour and support plans
• Handle classroom discipline with the school's code of conduct

• At least 1 year of classroom teaching, including teaching practice
• You can manage a class of 35 or more without losing control
• Sound knowledge of CAPS and the assessment policy for your phase
• Full SACE registration (provisional registration only for student or newly qualified teachers)
• Good spoken and written command of the language of teaching
• A B.Ed, or a degree plus PGCE, in the phase and subject you'll teach

• Comfortable with Google Classroom or Microsoft Teams for homework
• Honours degree in your subject or in education management

• School holidays in line with the school calendar
• Housing allowance for SGB and state-funded posts where it applies
• Paid SACE CPTD workshops
• Fee discount for your own children at independent schools

• Add your matric results or pass rates for your classes if they improved; hard numbers beat adjectives.
• Bring a short sample lesson to the interview; many schools ask you to teach for 15 minutes.
